I am giving what I know, in the HOPE that somebody might identify with these folk and get in touch. News of further generations or more detail on any of these would also be most extremely welcome! Albert Edward ALLISON was born in Monkwearmouth, Sunderland on 14th February 1863. In about 1881 he married Margaret Ann Blake, also of Sunderland, born in about 1860. Her parents were Remigius BLAKE and Margaret Ann JAMES. She was baptised at St Peter’s, Monkwearmouth on 3 October 1860. They lived in Bishopwearmouth and had 4 children thus: Evelyn Garnett ALLISON – born about 1883 Wilfrid Archbold ALLISON – born about 1884 Margaret ALLISON – born about 1891 John James ALLISON – born about 1893 These dates could be out by only a year, at most. Any links or info out there that could help my research? Thanks in advance if anyone can help! Clifford Allison.
